Happy Saturday!

It will be another warm one today. Highs in the mid and upper 80s. We will see an increase in moisture during the day with afternoon shower and storm chances. It will not be a washout though. Temperatures will drop into the low 70s overnight.

Highs in the mid and upper 80s on Sunday. Pretty much the same story as Saturday with a chance for afternoon scattered showers and storms. Again, will not be a washout.

A bit cooler for Memorial Day. Highs near 80. We'll also see an increase in rain chances. Make sure you have both indoor and outdoor plans.

An unsettled weather pattern will continue through next Friday due to an area of low pressure that will be lingering over the southeast. Temperatures will trend mainly in the low and mid 80s.

The storm is moving toward the east near 5 mph. A turn toward the north is expected later tonight, with a faster motion toward the north expected Saturday through Sunday. A turn toward the north-northwest is expected on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, with little change in strength forecast on Monday. Winds of 40 mph extend outward up to 140 miles mainly to the east of the center.
